Atlanta Braves
- The Braves rotation may be set, but the bullpen? That's another story.
Manager Bobby Cox and pitching coach Roger McDowell are confident enough with their starters to be able to more or less map out the season—barring injuries—slotting each one for an optimal start and figuring out rest days as the season winds down.
No such luxury with the relievers.
The expected closing tandem, left-hander Billy Wagner and right-hander Takashi Saito, had trouble finding the strike zone in their earliest spring training outings. Wagner rebounded to the point where he was working on throws to first base during his appearances. Saito's stuff had been there, but his fastball command had not been consistent.
- Tommy Hanson pitched like he was in midseason form Wednesday for the Atlanta Braves. Hanson allowed one run on six hits in five innings in Atlanta's 4-2 win over the Marlins. It was the longest outing of the spring for Hanson, projected to be Atlanta's No. 3 starter. "Really sharp. Best he's looked all spring," said manager Bobby Cox. - Manager Bobby Cox knows who will be in his starting rotation on opening day. He also knows Billy Wagner will be his closer. After that, he has more pieces of the puzzle to work out. There are likely six spots available in the Braves' bullpen to bridge the gap between Wagner and the starters. Cox isn't complaining, but when each audition turns out well, Cox has to start wondering who gets to... - John Smoltz is embarking on a career as an analyst for Turner Broadcasting and the MLB Network, although he's not quite ready to say he's thrown his final major league pitch. "I know the question comes up: Does that mean you retired?" the 42-year-old Smoltz said Tuesday. "Officially no. - Derek Lowe spent the winter overhauling his mechanics and is pleased with his progress. A few more outings like Monday night's and Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox won't care how many tweaks Lowe makes. Lowe, Cox's choice to pitch opening day April 5, worked four hitless innings and the Braves beat the winless Washington Nationals 5-2 Monday night. - Troy Glaus is used to making adjustments. When you've played for four teams over the last six seasons, it becomes like second nature. The one thing he's never been able to adapt to is not seeing his name on the lineup. That was a tough reality to accept last year in St. Louis, when he was limited to 14 games after having surgery on his right shoulder in January. - Jason Frasor conceded he was stubborn on the mound Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. That explains why they pounded the Toronto relief pitcher for four runs in 1-3 of an inning in an 8-5 victory over the Blue Jays. "The changeup was terrible; the fastball was good," said Frasor, a candidate for the Blue Jays' closer role. - 
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Ricky Romero had another strong start on Saturday, pitching four shutout innings and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-0.
- Ricky Romero had another strong start on Saturday, pitching four shutout innings and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-0. It wasn't perfect for Romero who struck out four, but also walked four under windy conditions, but he said the key was that he was able to pitch out of jams. - Atlanta Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens managed to make his spring debut, anyway. Jurrjens threw two scoreless innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday before the game was called after three due to showers that washed away the exhibition slate in Florida. Jurrjens had been struggling with inflammation around his right shoulder and manager Bobby Cox decided to be cautious. - 
Derek Lowe could only stare at his foot in disbelief. Longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox said he had never seen anything like it. Lowe was hampered Wednesday by a blister on his right foot, forcing him out of Atlanta's 7-6 victory over the New York Mets after just one inning. Lowe said the recurring blister on his push-off foot popped with Daniel Murphy at the plate, after he had faced two...
- This time last year, Billy Wagner was facing little leaguers in Virginia and recovering from elbow surgery. The former All-Star closer, signed by the Braves in the offseason, retired all three batters he faced Tuesday night in Atlanta's 7-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies and said he felt comfortable for the first time this spring. - Jason Heyward made his first spring training homer a memorable one. The Atlanta Braves' 20-year-old right fielder almost cleared the batting cage behind the right-field wall Monday with a two-run homer off Max Scherzer in the first inning of a 12-4 exhibition victory over the Detroit Tigers. "That's one of the longer ones I've seen hit in this ballpark," said Braves manager... - 
This time last year, Tommy Hanson was a confident prospect who knew it wouldn't be long until he made the major leagues. After a half-season rising through the Atlanta Braves system, Hanson made his major league debut and surprised no one, going 11-4 in 21 starts for the Braves. Now, his confidence is just as high.
- Roy Oswalt threw two rocky, yet scoreless innings in his spring debut and the Houston Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 3-0 Saturday. Oswalt walked three and loaded the bases in the first. He allowed just one hit and struck out two while throwing 44 pitches, 25 for strikes. The right-hander said he stuck to fastballs and changeups.–>
